Classes and events

Paint class with Ed

New for Sundays, Ed Vasqkedi will be teaching his intensive art class, painting in Acrylics, from 2 to 4 p.m. All ages welcome.

Jam Night

Dust off that old guitar, bass, keyboard, ukulele or whatever you have and come on out for a fun night of music and socializing. We are mostly a group of intermediate musicians so don't think you have to be great to join us. Bring a few copies of songs you want us to play.

We always meet on Tuesdays. Come on out on May 30. Get on Mark's text list and he will remind you about sessions.

Join our Co-op

If you are looking for a place to showcase your art, consider joining us here as a Co-op member or an Artist Vender. If you have an artistic skill you would like to share, you can teach a class in our classroom. Young artists are welcome, too. We're proud to have a growing number of up-and-coming artists getting their first start here at the Arts Center.
